Garlic Butter Zucchini Noodles
These garlic butter zucchini noodles are the ultimate summer comfort food! A quick and cheesy pasta dish stuffed with grated zucchini and topped with fresh herbs. Tastes amazing, takes no time at all!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large zucchini squash freshly grated
- kosher salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups ditalini pasta
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup parmesan cheese plus more for serving
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the zucchini with a big pinch of salt and pepper. This will look like a lot of zucchini but it will cook down! Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until the zucchini cooks down and becomes slightly golden.
- To the same skillet, add the butter. Stir in the pasta. Cook, stirring often, until the pasta is toasty and golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in the stock. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce it to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Once the pasta is cooked and liquid is absorbed, turn off the heat. Stir in the parmesan cheese. Stir until it’s melted. Top with the herbs. Serve immediately with extra parmesan cheese!
